The pollcojirc searching for his two
companions, one of whom is known to
have been seriously burned, who warned
neighbors and then fled after tho acci
dent, at 0:45 o'clock today.
A clue to the dead boy's identity
la a note, without nn envelope, but
evidently addressed to a school teacher,
which read:
"Plcaso excuse Morris Denverstcln
ns his mother want him to go crrnnd."
From this the police believe that -the
boy was a truant. The train on which
the bov met death was a freight from
'New York. It had been standing still
for some timo before the accident, and
the boys might have climbed to the top
of the cars.
No Witnesses to Accident
There were no witnesses to the ncci
dent, except the two companions of tho
-Tlctira. The first Intimation that peo
ple In the neighborhood had that any
thing had happened was when two boys
ran shrieking down Montgomery avenue.
They rushed up tho steps of 3123 Mon
jtomcry avenue, tho home of M. Lebar
tiy. and one shouted :
"I had an electric shock and there is
a boy killed down on tho rnllroad."
The bov had bis blouso burned nearly
off his back nnd It .was still smoking.
His neck .Uiowed a largo red spot. The
boys werecrying for water to put out
The
boy burncd'wanted to put water on the
wound, but'Lebarsky advised him to
go to tboTnrjug store, and gnvo a towel
which hcwrnpped around himself nnd
then both! .'boys started off,
Of the many theories thnt have been
advanced ns to just what happened the
mast logical seems to be that the boy
wn running along tho top of the cars,
and In jumping, either between the
cars or over some obstruction, hit his
head against tho wire.
Following tho discovery of tho note
detectives were Immediately- sent into
the district and a complete search of
ill schools started. The Sartaln. Blaine

without" Tcsult."V -s

was nothing on hliri to lndicfttq who he
was. Ho is between fifteen nnd six
teen years old.
Mothers in Panic of Fear
When it was seen that no one knew
who tho dead 'boy was, a nenr-panic
started in tho neighborhood. Frantic
mother? ran to the schools and searched
the strtts for their -offsprings. As the
'minutes passed without discovery of the
ideality ot tue victim, tno panic graw
Exaggerated reports of the Incident only
added fuel to tho flames.
' About an hour after tho accident the
rumor spread that the victim was Leon
Levin, Jr., Thirty-first near Columbia.
Hli mother, Mrs. Leon Levin, was im
mediately seized with hysterics. She
ran through tho streets to his school
crying wildly, and she found him nt his
dieses. Tho second shock was almost

FREIGHT RATE CUT
Warn Railroads They Are Not
Aiding in Lower Price
Movement
CITE PUBLIC SENTIMENT
Lower rollroad freight rates on all
commodities were demanded in a reso
lution passed ot today's scaion of the
National Hardwood Lumbermen's As
sociation, which Is winding up its con
vention nt the Bcllevue-Strotford.
The rcrolution. Introduced by Karl
Palmer, of Memphis, Tenn., was passed
without n dissenting vote. It is n
lenghHiy nrralgnment of tho railroads
for falling to do their pnrt in the gen
eral effort for a (.nner scale of prices.
Tho lumber men point out to the
railroads that unless they reduce rates
and thus do their part in bringing down
living costs, public sentlmont will be
against thorn in the event the rnllroad
trainmen strlko July 1.
Tho resolution sc, orth thnt this In
crease in freight rates granted by tht
Interstate Commerce Commission last
August has failed of its purpose, be
causo it proved "the jjrealeft factor in
retnrding nnd suppressing MlBrafss.?'
Dealers Shouldered Losses
The railroads, the resolution point?
out, have declined to reduce .their rates
on, lumber, in spite of tho fact that the
lumbermen had scaled down their prices
on all tho materials that enter into
railroad construction, and this in spite
of the fact that public sentiment has
operated to obtain for tho railroads per
mission to reduce wages.
Materials needed for tho building of
homes, business houses, churches, hos
pitals, nil have been reduced, tho res
olution declares, to tho lowest point
consistent with the freights exacted by
tho railroads.
Thereforo the lumbermen "earnestly
Implore" the railroads to reconsider
their nnnounccmetn of June 8 thnt they
would not reduce intes ou lumber, and
urge tho railroads also to reduce rates
on all commodities.
Copies of tho resolution nre to be sent
to tho President of tho United "State
nnd other officials of the Government.
Another set of resolution passed by
tho lumber men was aimed ut the Snell
Bill, now before Congress, appropri
ating $50,000 for forestry purposes.
Tho lumbermen bnbed tlieir opposition
to this menMirc on the ground thut pro
posed regulation of private industry and
delegated legislative power in nmblgti
cua terras to nn executive officer.
Against United States. Control
Tho lumbermen ulso announced their
opposition to Government regulation or
control of the lumber business through
tho enactment of forestry legislation or
otherwise, except such legislation as is
required to enforce common honesty
nnd fair dealing.
Tho lumbermen, however, favor
legislation for reforestation of areas cut
or burned over, so that tho forests of
tho country will be preserved for future
generations. They recommended also
the extension of the public forest Inuds.

Sprclal CorrfArondrnt Etrnlnic Tiilillc Idicrr
Copurioht, Hit, bv Publlo I.rdocr Co.
Wnslilngton, June 10. Press dls
patches from Mexico City arc regarded
here as reassuring with regard to the
ultimate signing of tho treaty pro
posed by Secretary Hughes.
Negotiations between Mexico nnd the
United States havo now passed Into the
newspnper stage. First, Mr. Hughes
sent a memoranaum to rresiuent Ubre
gon through the American Charge
d'Affnires, Mr. Summerlin. suggesting
the negotiation of n treaty of amity anil
commerce. Then President Obrcgou
replied with n note to Mr. Hughes,
vaguely raising constitutional objec
tions to tho proposed treaty.
Although both communications have
ncen made public in Mexico Cltv, they
have been withheld from the press here,
nnd accordingly, it Is Impossible to
speak with confidence about whnt tht.v
contain. But It is apparent that Obre
gon's letter left Hughes in dotibt ns'to
what the constitutional obstacles to the
treaty "were.
Tho State Department here then
issued a public statement through the
press. The point which Mr. Hughes
really Insisted upon was that Mexico
should ngreo In wrltlns that her con
stitution did 'not mean tho confiscation
of American property In Mexico legally
acquired previously to tho adoption of
the constitution.
Mexican Editors Optimistic
By implication, nothing else In the
proposed treaty of amity nnd commerce
wns of vital importance. Presumably
Mr. Obregon wns to Infer thnt the rest
of It was subject to negotiation nnd
amendment.
Scnor Pain, for President Obregon.
then called In tho press at Mexico City
and showed the correspondence. No, he
assured the editors, there wns nothing in
the notes exchanged to indicate any
issue which cannot be straightened our
by negotiation and amendments which it
is believed tho Uitcd States will con
cede. Nothing wns said about the
bothersome Article 27 of the Mexican
Constitution, which, as interpreted by
Carranza, provides for confiscation of
American nil holdings
That, as Mr. Hughes has told Mtx
Ica through tho press, is the one point
on which tho United States cannot yield.
No relations with Mexico nre possible
if tho constitution means confiscation,.
The Mexican editors, huviug irud tin
American State Department's statement

advantage of seeing the oriclnnl Hughes

As the Joint Bridge Commission has

The first step toward the realization
of the great plan advocated here for
many years will bo thp Kinking of

Incidentally, before the engineers be

The conflicting views he'd in Cam

TO SECRETARY DENBY TODAY
By the Associated Press
London. Juno 10. Rear Admiral
William S. Sims made no direct men
tion of Americans in sympathy with the
Irish Republican cnuso today during a
forty-minute nddress nt n luncheon
given In bis honor by the American
Luncheon Club. ,
In nn npparont nllus-ion. however, to
his remarks of Inst Tuesday, when he
addressed the English-Speaking I nion.
Admiral Sims said :
"Perhaps wc have used too energetic
adjectives on some bccnslons, but let
us hope that will be nmlnibly explained
nwny."
The admiral paused a moment and
then added :
"But I'm going on doing the same
thing." , ,
This declaration brought from the
200 guests a repetition of tin uproar
ious applause which had greeted the re
mark of Wilson Cross, vice president

Mr. Gross alluded to tin marked mr
dialitv with which Admiral Sims had
been 'entertained by men iiinong the
most notable in the countr since his
arrival in England, and he presented
the admiral in the charneterlzntlnii
usually applied to Washington "tirst
in war, first in pence, first in tho hearts
of his countrymen."
Says Ho Told Truth
Admiral Sims in replying said he hnd
attempted on all occasions to say what
he wanted to say and ho believed lie
had always told the truth as he under
stood It. He was afraid he had gone to
excess in telling the truth, nnd he
feared he hnd done so the other day

POLITICAL TRICK CHARGE
RIDICULOUS, HE ASSERTS
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
"I hnvc been greatly Interested In
some of tho newspaper comments and
criticisms of the proposal of tho De?
pnrtment of Highways to tako over
from tho contractors the work of clean
ing all tho streets and nvenncs of tho
city on October 1," snld Director Cnven
of tho Department of Public Works,
this morning
"The principal complaint on the parf.
of the minor critics is flint it does not
give tho contractors n chance for their
'white alley.' In other words, that tho
department Is taking on unfair advan
tage of tlio street-cleaning contractors,"
went on the Director.
"Every street-cleaning contractor un
dertook tho work this year with the dis
tinct understanding thnt his contract;
would bo vacated on October 1 nt the
pleasure of the Department of Public
Works.
"Of course, they do not desire to re
linquish their contracts on October 1
or at nnv other time. They are profit-' .
able. They hate to tftve thera up. All
their political friends, high and low.
as well ns certain other well-mcanlw;
gentlemen, nre after us with protests. '
No Ono Has Asked for Reason
"And yet," (ieclurcd Director Caven
as he pointed a long forefinger to em
phasize the statement, "not one of
these gentlemen has entered my officii
and frankly discussed tho situation or
tiled to discover iust whv m-o ,ii,i,.,i
on October 1 as tho most nvailable dutoi
for undertaking all the work of street
cleaning for this city of 1,800,000 peo
ple. "The nllegation that October 1 hai,
been fixed ns the time so thnt the Ad
ministration may be enabled to utilize
the fact to its advantage In the Novera-,
ber election is so ridiculous on the facd
of it that it scarcely merits a reply. .
"The street cleaning of the entire
urea of Philadelphia would have searr-
ly got under whv.
and the new mnchln-
cry oiled up nnd running smoothly be-;
fore the November election would ha
due. What kind of a showing could;
ve make in one month that would jus-r4
tify us, even if wc were disposed to rush
into print and on the plhtform and
stump, nnd bonst of our work?'
"The declaration that It Is a,jnoT-'r' s
ment to prevent n reduction in' the tax.
rate for next year bnrelv escapes roach-;
Ing the stage of political idiocy. r
"Mayor Moore has repeatedly de
clared that a lower tax rate should be
imposed next year. Anyhow, how would
he bo contributing to the maintenance
of tho present tax rate when wo pro
pose to save tho city considerable sums
of money by taking this job away from
tne contractors nnd doing it oursclvcsr '
"I'll toll you. and all those critics
might have had Hie facts for the ask'
I nig, why wo propose to undertake city-
wide street cleaning on Octobtr 1 and
not on January 1, as the contractors
and their friends are demanding. Wo
do not propose to let the contractors,
oven were thoy si disposed, put us in
a hole nnd cast discredit nnd odium, If
possible, upon this new work of the
city," said the Director emphatically-
Job Would Start in Mid-Winter
"If we wait until Jnnunry 1 we
step into the job in niiil-wlnlor. It
may bo that the cit then will be frozen
up. There may bo storms or blizzards
and iu the midst of such u crisis wo
undertake tho work.
"Contractors, disgruntled nnd ready
perhaps to discredit the undertaking.
could leave the ashes and rubbish by the
'ton for us to elonn up. If there worn
tho least delay on our pnrt, with an
I entirely now system staiting in, they
and their friends would raise tho cry of
' failure and Inefficiency.
I "Our engineers hno studied this
question for months. They've visited
jotliir uties and conferred with highway
engineers and superintendents on tliu
, subject. Tho unanimous conclusion ii
that October 1 Is the period when the
municipality should undertake tins grea"t
work.
"It will give us three months In
which to get the work started, to fa
miliarize our superintendents, foremen,
inspectors and workmen with the rou
tine of the operation. Thoy will ham
had experience with early snowfalls;
they will bo ready to tackle the removal
of oslich and snow as tho winter ad
vances and tho bitter freezing tp
proaclios.
"By January 1. 1022. instead of leap
ing in with winter nnd everything
else ngninst us, we will have men who
for throe months havo boon Retting
ready for this most strenuous condition.
"What other argument Is needed nw
